Re: I\'m going to do a LAG experiment
I do play to make money.
I also play for entertainment - and LAGging it up is fun [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I don't have a problem with blowing a whole buyin when I first sit down - altho obviously I don't do this all the time. 2 of the biggest fish on my buddy list now follow ME to MY tables. I think building yourself a image can be +EV as long as you have several gears to your game - and know when to switch. There are very very few Small Stakes players that can adjust - most seem to pigeon hole you after 50 hands or so and then rarely change their opinion.

Re: I\'m going to do a LAG experiment
I think image is a huge part of LAG, and I try to use it to offset my opponents. Showing a couple of bold bluffs works wonders sometimes. It can tick off the ABC players, it makes the weak/tight players even easier to bully, and over all it will give you action like you wouldn't believe from the looser players. Of course, for all this to happen you have to really trust your instincts. You also have to have someone to pick on (at least one tight player at the table).
If you start showing good check raise bluffs and things like that, you can have people check raising you with middle pair when you have a set. What a lot of people disagree with about the idea of showing a few bluffs, is that it will take away your overall ability to run a bluff. This is just a myth. Once people see how strong you are they are either easier to bluff or they give you action. As long as you continually pick your spots then you're fine. Good image? Big +EV.

They get excitement, great bluffs and tons of action. This is something Doyle speaks about at his book as something important, to build an image as an action man. Sometimes I just feel like bug, when I spot some loose players trying to have a good time and me there, tight and selecting my hands, doing everything except funny things. I don't mind myself, of course, I find very, very funny making money. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] By the way, link to a post from HSNL LAG player ... Showing Bluffs regards, dardo

Re: I\'m going to do a LAG experiment
dbitel,
It seems that playing a LAG game has overcome your normal need to make money. FWIW, I play a pretty decent LAG game when I only 1-table, so I can make a video of it (or you guys can sweat me). Let me know if anyone is interested, I'll do it soon.

Re: I\'m going to do a LAG experiment
I think a good starting point is to use your position more aggressively. Dont' do the stuff when you're out of position. For example out must steal from button when only limpers or posters in the pot, but this might be your normal move also. If SB open limps, make him fold from BB and thinks like that.
I would try to spot the weak-tight players, and play super-aggro against them. I think a lag does not do much open limping and calling pre-flop, that's donkey play.
